    Walmart Leicester MA yesterday, just Penningtons and Maine (Woods?), the one with the Moose having tea on the bag. No more Still River or the other.

    Still $5 per bag, $250 ton.

    The tea drinking moose bag is Maine's Choice I think (aka Genevas)?

    I scored 1 ton of Pro Pellets this week for $150 out the door... From TSC... :bug:

    Asked a customer service person in the store if they would price match Family Farm for $199.... They said yes. I wanted to pay right then, and pick them up another day because I did not have my truck. nope...have to pick them up when you pay. Great... Told them I would be back... Truck was 20 miles away..... Got back shortly... When he dropped the bomb... Nope. Not going to price match. I was not a happy customer. Anger management kicked in and I just left and went home. Decided to send an email to corporate, explained what happened, and that I was a tad upset. Next day the store manager called me and made me a great deal..:handshake:

    Bedford Wally World want $5.59/bag of Penningtons. Why in the world would I do that when I can go to HD a couple miles away and pick up FSU's for $5.18/bag?

    Lowes in Bedford, NH finally lowered price from $5.99 to $5.18 a bag to match Home Depot pricing for FSU. Website shows 18320 bags available which might be the reason for the price adjustment.

    Really? I work down the street from that Lowes but haven't checked them out for a couple of weeks. With the high prices they've had, no reason to stop in.

    Seeing the same thing here. The Lowes closest to me is still at $5.98, yet there is at least one other in short driving distance at the lower $5.18 price now. I stopped at the local one last weekend. Stacks of North Americans on display outside the contractor entrance. Loads of GS in the garden area. A half pallet of Timber Heats inside the contractor entrance with a $5.98 sign on them.
